Using your Watermaker

Watermakers like to be run often

Just like its predecessor, the PowerSurvivor 35, the PowerSurvivor 40E watermaker can be

operated in either manual or powered mode. This dual-purpose feature of the watermaker has

its roots in our original products, which were designed as military-quality survival equipment.

Our deep experience in this technology, combined with many years of active user feedback,

allowed us to design a watermaker that is easy to operate with little or no technical knowledge.

There are no complicated adjustments to make or gauges to monitor. By following the

instructions below and paying attention to system maintenance, you can expect years of

trouble-free operation.

Powered Operation

Pre-Run Checklist: Before running your watermaker, always check the following:

5 Any valves in the seawater intake reject brine and product freshwater lines should be

open.

5 Check for bad (“rotten egg”) smell from the water in the prefilter assembly. Replace

the element and clean the housing, as required. Also check for foul water in any in-

line coarse strainer.

5 Assure that the product freshwater output is routed to a drain for testing/discarding.

5 Check battery or power supply voltage. Operating your watermaker below about 11

VDC is hard on the electric motor and dramatically reduces the output of product

freshwater.

5 Observe the seawater around your vessel. Is it clean enough to use for your seawater

intake? There are several things to avoid feeding to your watermaker:

• petroleum products, such as oil, fuel, thinners, paints, paint removers, etc.

• chlorine-treated water; e.g., most “dock” water

• silty water — water contaminated by fine, hard, suspended particulates

• putrid water, “red tides”, or any seawater that smells or looks contaminated

5 Make sure the cleaning valve lever on the pump is in the “down,” or “run,” position.

It is important to remember that the watermaker is designed to process clean, open-ocean

seawater. Any departure from that standard for your seawater intake runs the risk of causing

excessive wear or damage to internal pump parts and/or the vulnerable reverse osmosis

membrane, or producing contaminated product freshwater.

Note: Judging the quality of seawater input always involves a certain calculated risk. We

know of watermaker systems that have been destroyed far offshore by intaking fresh whale

excrement or oil contaminants from natural seepages — still, the chance of such things

happening is normally small. On the other hand, regularly running a watermaker in an

enclosed marina or harbor runs a much higher risk of harmful contamination. If you need to

test a new installation while in a marina or harbor, monitor the water quality around your

vessel carefully while testing. Most of the time you should be able to run the watermaker

safely for enough time to check out the system. Don’t sail away without testing a new

installation!
